Conceptual framework
The CIEL 2021 biennial conference has been conceived around the theme “Technological innovation in business and the legal system”.
The way in which businesses are structured and developed is changing as a result of technological innovation, and the legal strategy must take advantage of this new reality. This new scenario implies rethinking how legal and business strategists will have to face these challenges and opportunities.
Renowned experts, academics, practitioners and thought leaders are invited to discuss how business and the legal system are changing to adapt to the new environment. A multifaceted approach will guide the discussion, focused on these dimensions:


Digital Economy
Digital innovation is transforming business models, markets and products and driving major changes in the economy and trade. Digital innovation involves the personal data market, the collaborative economy, the FinTech revolution, RegTech, MedTech, InsurTech and others. How businesses and startups can strategically take advantage of digital innovation?
Global Business
In a globalized world, the spectrum of influence and the risks that have to be managed by firms are increasingly diverse. Discoveries in behavioral economics related to agency costs, changes in consumption patterns, costs and places of production, the digitization of the market, the tendency to offer services instead of products and to do so internationally, the discoveries and changes in governance and the proliferation of the change to sustainable businesses are factors that influence the design of structures. This changing environment poses a challenge to strategists: design optimal structures to allow companies to achieve their objectives in an uncertain and increasingly interconnected world – a transformation of both internal and external structures. How can strategists use structural design to capture value in this new reality? How can the internal and external structures of companies adapt to lead the new business reality? Can we leverage corporate governance structures to capture opportunities while maintaining risk control?
LegalTech
Both the legal profession and the justice system are in the process of transformation as a result of technological innovation. The automation of tasks and the mechanization of legal analysis will imply that lawyers lose the legal monopoly of knowledge, it will lead to a redefinition of the work of legal professionals and will impose the development of new areas of expertise. E-Justice will trigger the automation of decision-making and will facilitate the use of predictive technologies. How will the notion of value added by the legal strategist change his clients? What strategies should lawyers use to avoid being commoditized? How should conflict resolution and management strategies be adapted to the circumstances of the justice system and the challenges demanded by the new reality?
